I'm just wondering what are considered the best books for the step 2 exams? I have read some reviews on Amazon and I was disappointed to see how poorly the First Aid books were reviewed after being very satisfied with the Step 1 book.
Looking at the threads here it seems like World is the way to go. However, I like my information a little more organized than that. I wrote notes from World into my First Aid for Step 1 and that worked well for me.
So what are the best sources for the Step 2 tests? Also, what would you guys consider sufficient time to study for the tests?
And going off in a tangent slightly, I'd be curious to hear what the best books are for the shelf exams, and if they require specific review books or if general Step 2 books are sufficient?
I appreciate anything you can tell me. I know it's early, but I wish I had First Aid for Step 1 before even starting medical school, just for recognizing the high points of lectures, etc. Thanks guys.
